I couldn’t have hoped for a better reaction, she absolutely loves it and I’ve been getting heaps of praise from everyone for giving her such a thoughtful gift.

Did you know ‘paper’ is the traditional symbol for the first wedding anniversary gift?
Wedding Dress Ink creates bespoke wedding dress illustrations so a bride can remember with a glance how gorgeous and feminine she looked on her wedding day, her unique style and how she stands apart.
Who else has one?
These illustrations have been given as wedding gifts to famous names like international rugby player Jonathon Sexton and former Miss World Rosanna Davison, and so you can honour your wife by commissioning a bespoke wedding dress illustration, especially made just for her.
Quality of Illustration
The attention to detail in transforming your wedding day photographs into a stylish fashion illustration will incredibly transfer the memories into a framed piece of art that will make a mark in your lives. Use of the artist quality watercolour paper and premium Indian ink ensures the best quality outcome that is unique and admirable.
“Audrey, you made my wife’s day. She loves it! Well done on a brilliant job. Thanks a million. Her dream dress is saved forever.” Gary – Co. Wicklow (wedding anniversary surprise)
The illustration is not just a piece of art but a gift that is steeped in emotion and the beautiful feelings surrounding the celebration of your wedding day and anniversary. This special ‘paper’ 1st anniversary gift will definitely evoke those feelings of love and romance as soon as she sets her eyes on it.
The Process
The design process of each illustration really starts with good quality photos, showing several full-length angles of the wedding dress, along with close-ups of the dress detailing, bouquet, shoes and any neck jewellery.
Each illustration begins it’s life on tracing paper, where the proportions and detailing is all worked out, usually with several drafts. This is where I also work out the seams, boning, fall of the fabrics, small details and shading.
Once happy with the final draft, the outline gets committed to high-quality watercolour paper. All the detailing is meticulously crafted with pen and ink until it’s ready for the background. Then, out come my finest paintbrushes and a pot of Indian black ink for the layering of a painted ink background. From the inky black background, the white wedding dress illustration emerges, the details shining through clearer and cleared as the layers darken, allowing the dress to take centre stage.
Once mounted, each one is signed and embossed with the company seal ready for framing and shipping worldwide.
